Anyone managed to get youtube videos working in HTML5/h.264 format on chromium browser?
Yes, works for me here. Uninstall both packages and run pacman -S chromium. Ondřej Kučera -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

Don't use those broken packages from the AUR. Just run "pacman -S chromium" and it will just work. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

That page does not mention Arch at all. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

With a chance of diverting from the original topic, I'd like to ask how often the chromium package in [extra] is going to be updated. Last week I went back from [extra] to AUR because of an annoying bug with Google Calendar in 5.0.307.11, but it is fixed in the latest version.
From what I understand, 5.0 development has release cycles of one week, with a version bump on each Monday.
I'm just asking, because I'm aware Chromium is a heavy beast to build and ship, so I don't expect a new build every week. I'm just asking for a rough estimation of how often a new version will appear in [extra]. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)

That's not really true. Chromium in [extra] follows the beta and hopefully soon the stable releases of Google Chrome. See http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Beta%20updates and http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/ The "releases" you are talking about are just snapshots which are tagged by a bot. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Ah, thank you. I wasn't aware of the existence of this page. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)

How can you do that? It asks me for flash in most webkit browser I tried, uzbl and arora, midori behaves differently, it doesn't ask for flash but shows no video either...

Thanks, but it doesn't 'stick' with any of my browsers. I can 'join' it but as soon as I try to watch a video or go back to the page it's back to not joined.
